Girlfriend can put up 24 pints of tomatoes from her garden in a day. They are excellent (more appreciated because I don't do the actual work!). That's a long day in a steamy kitchen in already hot weather not counting the gas or tilling, planting, staking and especially weeding. Plus a box of rings and lids. At market rates, I assume about $50 per pint. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

OK Andrew - I JUST got the sales sheet from Safeway: I was quoting prices from the store labels. Here is the normal labels: Hunts 14.5 ounce diced tomatoes: normally $1.79 and on-sale $1.48 White Potatoes: normally $1.99 lb and on-sale $1.63 A bag of potato chips: $4.49 and on-sale $4.06 |

If you buy bike parts the same way you buy meat, you must have the most expensive bike on earth. At my grocery store up on the corner, your steak is about $5 per pound. Of course I do live amongst the cows, so when they are slaughtered, its just a couple miles of transport to get them in my store. |

On the third when I did that overly hot ride I came to a spot I don't normally go. I had to go through a three block area and I saw three people openly selling dope. My guess is that the cops don't go there. |

Words from a real farmer there. Nope, not me. I left home as soon as I could and never weeded another row. But my folks had a garden until they were in their 80's and my mother canned food for the winter during most of that period. You see Tom, back in the day, New Englanders assumed that you must be feeble minded to actually pay for something that you could do your self. -- Cheers, John B. |
